“I had lots of inquires and multiple offers. There is strong demand, especially where they’re in the right school zones, that is a big thing. This one had Walkerville Primary, St Andrews and all the city schools.”

Built in 2007, the home had five bedrooms, large living areas, two bathrooms, off-street parking for eight vehicles, and a large alfresco entertainment space off the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

A second level built into the roof-line featured a self-contained guest suite with a lounge, a bedroom and a bathroom.

Ms Wilson says the home seamlessly blended modern conveniences with character and charm, and included 3.6m ceilings throughout, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and silk curtains.

The home also had ducted reverse-cycle airconditioning, jarrah flooring, CCTV, ducted vacuum and a 10.8kW solar system with a 9.8kW lithium-ion backup battery.

“There was nothing hidden, what you see is what you get,” Ms Wilson says.
